However, that got me to thinking about how many MySQL 5.1 users
who have still not switched to use the plugin as opposed to the built-in version of
InnoDB.

There are many advantages to using the plugin as opposed to
the built-in version (aside from just the new I_S tables, and
more importantly, numerous performance enhancements), and it’s
breeze to set up, so I wanted to provide a quick start guide to
using the new InnoDB plugin.
